Abstract

We present an algorithm that, on input of a CM-field K, aninteger k ≥ 1, and a prime r ≡ 1 mod k, constructs a q-Weil numberπ ∈ OK corresponding to an ordinary, simple abelian variety A overthe field F of q elements that has an F-rational point of order r andembedding degree k with respect to r. We then discuss how CM-methods over K can be used to explicitly construct A.
